Bebe's interpretation
Philippians 1:9 urges, “And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment.” Here, Paul prays for the Philippians’ love to grow in depth and wisdom. True love is not blind or naive; it is discerning and wise. To love as God loves, we need knowledge and understanding. We need to know how to love others in ways that are not just emotionally fulfilling but also spiritually nurturing. Love that is grounded in wisdom leads to the right actions, words, and attitudes toward others. It is not impulsive or driven by worldly desires, but rooted in God’s will and truth. In all of our relationships, we are called to let love abound in knowledge and discernment, allowing us to show kindness and grace while maintaining truth and integrity.
